By using FLAC you are future proofing your music collection. Its the best way to archive you music and you can use it as a base to transcode to other formats should you need to tranfer to a portable DAP, with minimal loss of quality. FLAC is a superior format in that it also properley supports gapless playback, which is better for those dj mixes, live gigs, audiobooks, classical and opera. Gapless also means you can burn Cds with the same timings as the orginal album was meant to be.
On day in the not too distant future (few years) we will stop using lossy for anything, as internet connections increase in speed and HDD get bigger and bigger. MP3's days as the dominat format ae numbered. -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5b1 - Windows XP. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living room) / Demon MD30 (bedroom). *Speakers:* Mission 701's (living room) / Kef Cresta 1's (bedroom). *Remote:* T-Mobile MDA Vario / Sony PSP / Cambridge Audio Explorer (IR). *Clients:* 1 Squeezebox3 + Softsqueeze. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ autopilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26918 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
